I don't think EA would let us starve a pet. It's too unethical for a game rated T for Teens. I'm not trying to sound irrelevant or off topic, but I'm just giving my two cents. Letting a pet die of any unnatural causes (intentional killing, arranged by a player), just isn't ethical, and it's debilitating. It's too mature of a situation to put in a game T for Teens.
